The inaugural HF2013 conference aims to advance the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing for the energy producing and mining industries and beyond.

It is co-organised and sponsored by CSIRO, the University of Utah's Energy and Geoscience Institute, the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) and the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS).

A 1-1.5 year postdoctoral position on the subject "Modeling of contact in parallel computing" is open at Centre des Materiaux, MINES ParisTech.

Dear Colleagues,

At https://sourceforge.net/projects/cmcodes/ you will be able to download open source software for the extended finite element method, the extended element-free Galerkin method and extended isogeometric analysis methods in 2D and 3D.

Some of the papers associated with these pieces of code are here:

Hi all,

In the course of our project, we are monitoring the corrosion behavior of steel reinforcement in cracked concrete, while exposed to simulated sea water. Recent results are posted on our blog,  http://microlab-m3c4.blogspot.nl/ ! Be sure to check them out! For more information, you can contact us, or follow us on twitter @MicrolabM3C4.

Cheers!

Register today to book your place at this prestigious conference, which has attracted over 290 abstracts. This is a significant opportunity for you to join leading researchers to exchange and discuss new ideas and findings. http://www.fatiguedamageconference.com/conference-register.html

Dear Imechanicians,

The deadline of abstract submission  of  this year's MRS Fall meeting  is fast-approaching, June 19, 2012. The meeting will be held  in November 25-30, 2012 in Boston.

hello, I am new to abaqus.

I am modeling a soil under seismic exitation with abaqus. the soil is a 2D rectangular elastic model.

As i was creating the mesh, i didnt pay attention and abaqus by deffault took plane stress. Is it a big problem that i work with plane stress or i should restart the calculation with plane strain ?

Thanks,

belhajj. 

hi

      A composite 3D plate is subjected to tensile load and whilethe otherend is fully comnstrained. how to findstress along the thickness for theoritically

Dear everybody

I am beginner in Meshfree method. I have some questions
in numerical integration in the weak form formulation. I would appreciate if
you help me.

In "meshless
methods in solid mechanics" written by chen et al, numerical
integration was summarized as: Nodal Integration, Background Mesh
and Wigner–Seitz Cell.

hi

i need ansys models for reinforced concrete beam , even txt files will be great.... cause i am trying to learn it

thanks

Dear Colleagues,

Dear all,

Can anyone suggest a good study material (lecture notes/videos/books)
about  wave prpagation analysis in Ansys or Abaqus?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Dear all,

Can anyone suggest a good study material (lecture notes/videos/books) about the fundamentals of fracture mechanics (specially cohesive law for orthotropic materials)?

I checked few books, but they are not very clear. So, I want to go for something that is already tested.

Thanks in advance for the help.
